There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Survey - The Future of Big Cats

Lions living in the jungle; I don't think so. His tawny coat would stand out vividly in the green jungle. The ancestors of lions were jungle cats; thus spotted cubs. Lions would find it much easier to keep hidden from people in the jungle than on the open savanna. Therefore, if lions were "jungle cats" there should be even more of them in the jungle today than in the grasslands and bush country. Also, it is believed by many authorities that the reason Asian apes are more arborial than African apes relates to the tiger. What would happen if a bull gorilla stood his ground against a lion? 
If there had ever been a population of "jungle lions" then they would have adapted differently than those of the open savanna. Different color and likely no mane at all. They would have given up living and hunting in groups. No, "Sorry Charley," I don't buy it. Not for a second.
